A traffic collision involving two box trucks occurred today on Interstate 5 South near Lomas Santa Fe in Solana Beach, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute and involved a Ford F35 box truck that overturned while carrying BBQ grills. This collision blocked the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and affected adjacent lanes, leading to significant traffic disruptions.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived on the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. Lane closures were implemented, causing delays and backups for drivers navigating through the area. The overturned Ford F35 was reported to be completely on its side, obstructing traffic flow.
Multiple units were deployed to assist with traffic management, ensuring that the remaining lanes were cleared as efficiently as possible. By early afternoon, the box truck had been moved into the HOV lane, allowing for the reopening of the other lanes, which helped alleviate some congestion.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays as cleanup efforts continue. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during busy travel times.
